About Sunwest Aviation
Sunwest Aviation is a Part 135 / equivalent charter operator headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, operating under Transport Canada air-operator rules, and its empty leg flights appear on SkyAccess for travelers chasing one-way charter value. Empty legs arise whenever its aircraft reposition between booked trips.
Established in 1986 and rebranded to Sunwest Aviation in 2006, it has grown into one of Western Canada's most diverse business aviation companies, with charter, aircraft management, air ambulance, a charter membership program, and FBO services at its Calgary home. It is among Canada's few operators to hold top-tier independent safety ratings.
From hubs including Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Vancouver, its empty leg deals tend to connect points across Canada and beyond as aircraft reposition. Flexible travelers who match a one-way segment get the best value, and the same certified operation that flies the full-fare charter also flies the discounted repositioning leg.
